I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Mushroom Stroganoff

2 cups low sodium chicken broth, divided
3⁄ 4 cup (6 ounces) sour cream
1⁄ 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3⁄ 4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1⁄ 2 teaspoon dried thyme
1⁄ 4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1⁄ 2 cup (2 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Egg noodles or pasta of your choice, cooked according to package directions
Fresh minced parsley for garnish (optional)

Whisk together 1 3/ 4 cups of chicken broth and Dijon mustard. Set aside. Whisk together the sour cream and remaining 1⁄ 4 cup of chicken broth. Set aside. Heat butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add onions; cook stirring occasionally until onions become tender, about 10 minutes. Do not brown. Add mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium high; cook stirring occasionally until all of the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms have browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, salt, thyme and pepper; cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add flour; stir to combine. Cook for a minute or two until the flour has browned. Add chicken broth/Dijon mustard mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and is bubbly, about 4 minutes. Add sour cream/chicken broth mixture to mushroom mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture is well combined. Remove from heat; add Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted. Correct the seasonings. Garnish with minced fresh parsley if desired. Serve over egg noodles or the pasta of your choice. Yield: 6 servings.
